BARRED THE OVERHEAD SIGN
Authorities ef City ef London Pr
hibited tho Projecting Nuloance
In Eighteenth Century
Many things to which we are now
so thoroughly accustomed thut they
seem nuturul and obvious took the
world a long time to think of observes
Everyday Science Numbering tl4?
houses or shops In a street as a means
of identifying them seems a very sim-
ple device but nobody thought of It
until well on In the Eighteenth century
Uutll then they got on at well as
they could with no numbers and In
Loudon streets like Cheapslde every
shopkeeper tried to outdo hla rivals
In the size and grandeur of his sign-
hoard They projected over the street
and every now and then fell down and
killed somebody They creaked and
groaned terribly whenever the wind
blew and It shows what s nuisance
they were that within a yeur of house
numbering being Introduced signboards
which projected from the wulls were
prohibited
The first London street to be num-
tered in March 1704 was New Bur-
lington street and the next Llucolu's

In the handful of shingle which you

trenchant education of them will tell

4 Wondarful Measurement
Persons who are devoting them-
selves to the science of measuring the
small things of tho universe will best
appreciate the achievement credited
to Prof Pedersen of Copenhagen uni-
versity who Is said to have Invented
a method by which he enu measure the
thousand-millionth part of e second
Physicists can eccurately weigh quan-
tities as small as the 500-thousandth
part of a milligram of which it takes
28350 to balance an ounce and an In-
strument exists by which the 70-mil-llonth
part of an Inch enn be nioas-
ored At the other end of the time scale
there Is the astronomer's unit for
sounding the depths of stellar space
— a "light year” the distance trav-
ersed by a ray of light In s year mov-

Owl and Crows
Owls are the pet eversion of crows
In duyllght they heup such complete
vltuperjtlon upon an owl's hend that
the process thus baldly reveal to
what vulgar depths at times bird
nature may full Crows will hang
about In squads tormenting scolding
pitching at the silent owl and then
retreating for a day at a time never
ceasing their aspersions and denunci-
ations— but they always act In con-
cert never alone At night the nils
of pursuer Is changed the silent
grtin rapture makes little return by
way of tumult but the effectiveness
ut bis retaliation Is Dot open to ques-

One of the moat enjoyable occas-
ions of the commencement Derldd to
the large graduating clsut at South-
eastern was the breakfast given the
seniors by the advisors and sponsors
at the Puritan Cafe yeterday morn-
ing at 8:80 The Puritan was taste-
fuljy decorated with class colors ar-
ranged artistically The tables were
decked with an exquisite display of
morning glories of the most charm-
ing array of colors The place cards
hand painted with Benjamin Frank-
lin's proverbial "early birds” The
entire room and tables were won-
durful to behold and made those who
were the fortunate ones selected feel
that they were in the palace of the
true artists
After the breakfast which consist-
ed of all of the possible good things
served for tjhe morning meal four
well ciotmp toast were given
Trol John 8 Vaughan In a few
wi'lP i'fiosnn wprds welcomed the
graduates Into the great teaching
prorpialonv He gavq them a clear
moaning o what the future held In
storti for them should they enter the
noble calling of teaching
Mis Mattie Delle McCarty In her
charming manner responded to the
toast "Cases Among the Seniors”
She revealed some startling news
that the sponsors and advisors had
missed
President Bennett spoke to tho
toast Future Breakfasts for Teach-
ers as Per Moneys Available He
expressed his appreciation of what
the graduates had done already and
exorted them to go out as staunch
supporters of Southeastern He call-
ed for a vote on those who would
promise to endowthe school when
they had made a million and receiv-
ed several votes
Mia Naomi Munson then In her
oratorical style spoke on "Other Pro
fessions than teaching” It was
beautiful toast with much wit and
good words
The raemberi of tha claia were pro-
fuse in their compliment to the
apohsors Misses McKinney and Stout
and to the advisors VSughan and
Laird for this excellent breakfaet and
enjoyable time
P E Laird acted as toastmaster
and thanked the class for their excel-
lent co-operation during the year

Graduating Recital
Durant has been the center of
many attractive and entertaining
events during the past two weeks
Prominent among these was the
graduation of Mlai Floy Schoonover
pupil of Sam L Ball Jr pianist
Miu Schoonover in her recital of last
Saturday night demonstrated to s
large audience In spite of the in-
clement weather her popularity aud
her ability to Interpret and execute
a heavy program of difficult selec-
tion from Llxt Chopin Yon and
Beethoven A pleasing personality
is a requisite for artists or future
artists and the spirit and depth of
feeling exhibited In Misa Schoonover's
presentation of her Chopin numbers
shows her love for the piano as
means of bringing a “Musical mes-
sage to her hearers”
Assisting Miss Schoonover was
Miss Mary Alice Prlchett eoprano
from Bonham and Miss Mary Bain
Spence from San Angelo Texas at
the piano
1 MW Pritchett delightfully start-
led the4 audience' w ith her beautiful
"logins and showed' herself to be an
artist 6y her diction' her control and
apt -personal Interpretation of each
a am her ’ Mist Spence scompanlng
showed herself hT accohl with the
mends of the singer
Public opinion of Miaa Schoon-
over's program aa a whole held It
among the best that have been given
in Durant because or the ability and
spirit of presentation of the num-
bers and the general atmosphere of
conduction all going to provide an
evening of classical music to be remembered
